Re: Yes, it is.

In Response To: Re: Yes, it is. (UNSC_Trooper) : It's not about who said it. It's about what evidence we have. Even though : Frankie's statement came at a later date, he didn't provide any evidence : to suggest that ILB is canon -- while Staten did (disregarding the time he : said it). I have no doubt that things might have changed with the ILB : issue, but from what evidence we have NOW, it's speculated that ILB isn't : canon. Okay, you've lost me. The "evidence" we have from Joe, in 2004, is that he wasn't considering ILB 'canon' because aside from defining the boundaries of the world they had to work in, Bungie let 42 Entertainment 'do their own thing'. Later on, though, Frankie does say "We're going to have this huge collection of canon, and things that we embrace as canon, like I Love Bees" - the way I read this is that he's clearly acknowledging that ILB wasn't written/overseen by Bungie, so it doesn't make the technical cut, but that there's nothing in it that BREAKS canon as Bungie sees it, so they're giving it the nod. It's not as though one said "The sky is blue" and the other said "The sky is red" - it's more like Joe said "The sky is blue" and Frank said "sometimes, when the sun's going down, the sky is red"; he's not NEGATING what Joe said, he's expanding upon it. I can certainly see the argument for 'ILB != canon' from purists, and I can see a solid argument for 'ILB ~ canon' from less rigid thinkers (maybe even 'ILB = canon') - you're welcome to your opinion, but you should realize that it's not as cut-and-dried as you're trying to make it. That's all I was saying. (I only spoke up because I felt like your wording was "This is the way it is, period." and I don't think it is.)
